No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days103 reviews Chris Baty Chronicle Books, 2004 Entertaining, Helpful, Motivating As a five-year participant in National Novel Writing Month ([...]), I've found this book to be helpful for making it through the month with a winning book every time. This book is not only helpful, it's a ton of fun to read, and it connects with more than your brain. It's one of my top three favorite books on writing. The week-by-week section of the book contains pep talks that are encouraging ...             The Monty Hall Problem: The Remarkable Story of Math's Most Contentious Brain Teaser8 reviews Jason Rosenhouse Oxford University Press, USA, 2009 A Detailed Analysis of an Intriguing Brain Teaser Believe it or not, this entire book is on the Monty Hall problem! The author, a mathematics professor, has analyzed this fascinating brain teaser from a variety of angles. After discussing the problem's history, he presents various attempts that have been made to understand it. The earlier attempts, including those by Marilyn vos Savant, tend to focus on logical arguments in order to arrive at ...             Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem3 reviews Mac Barnett Hyperion Book CH, 2009 GREAT Book and SO Original!! I just bought this book for our 7 year old son and not only does he love it, but so does his 4 year old sister! Since we got it, she's been asking me to read it to her every night at bedtime! What an original story and the illustrations are fantastic! The story is something that the kids find amusing but, at the same time, it's educational. Even I learned some new things about blue whales!! ...             A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide (P.S.)193 reviews Samantha Power Harper Perennial, 2007 An extremely important book... Time and again, politicians vow "never again" will they allow genocide to occur. Yet, despite ample opportunities to back up these claims with action, the global community has done precious little. Beginning with the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Turks to Pol Pot's reign of terror in Cambodia to Hussein's gassing of Iraq's Kurds (the first incidence of a leader using chemical ...             Problem Solving 101: A Simple Book for Smart People9 reviews Ken Watanabe Portfolio Hardcover, 2009 Terrific Little Handbook to Brush Up on or Improve Problem Solving Skills I assume some readers may find this book overly simplified, as author Ken Watanabe uses fairly simple examples to teach problem solving skills in what is a rather short book. Don't be fooled by the relatively straight-forward nature of the problems involved; it's the core concepts of problem solving that are important, and Watanabe presents these in a clear and accessible manner. For me, the ...             Social Problems: A Down-to-Earth Approach (9th Edition)30 reviews James M. Henslin, Lori Ann Fowler Prentice Hall, 2009 School book Came on time and just what I expected. Perfect order and I'm glad I did it.             Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems: New, Revised, and Expanded Edition450 reviews Richard Ferber Fireside, 2006 Thank you, Dr. Ferber! Dr. Ferber, you have made a believer out of me! When I had initially heard about the Ferber method, I was skeptical. Maybe it would work for other babies, but not ours, a spirited baby boy who could scream at the top of his lungs for over an hour. We had tried to "cry him out", a battle of the wills, and he won. Our pride and joy, who had started sleeping through the night at four months ...             No Self No Problem4 reviews Anam Thubten Snow Lion Publications, 2009 A Reality Based Approach We are so caught up in our fantasies and illusions that we are blind to them. Most of our spiritual and religious endeavors are just more fantasy. We have mindsets that we are totally oblivious to. Anam Thubten does a simple, straightforward, and unusually effective job at bringing us to a place where all this can actually be sensed, at least momentarily. He presents a fundamental and ...             The Problem of Pain111 reviews C. S. Lewis HarperOne, 2001 Theology, Not Consolation The only goal of my brief and amateur review is to simply express my unqualified opinion of what the reader should expect to find within the pages of this amazing work of literary art. To quote directly from C.S. Lewis himself "What I am now going to say is merely an opinion of my own without the slightest authority, which I submit to the judgment of better Christians and better scholars than ...             Happiness Is a Serious Problem: A Human Nature Repair Manual60 reviews Dennis Prager Harper Paperbacks, 1999 What if I just think I'm happy? the book is better than Prager as you won't have to listen to him repeatedly explain himself as he repeatedly reiterates and generally duplicates his repeats in attempt to clarify everything he said but not did mean to imply with only a brief intermission to complain that they are out of time. The book is excellent!             Sex Is Not the Problem (Lust Is): Sexual Purity in a Lust-Saturated World64 reviews Joshua Harris Multnomah Books, 2005 Perfect Josh Harris is an amazing gifted writer and his latest book proves it yet again.

A must-buy read.             Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems88 reviews William E. Boyce Wiley, 2008 As expected and described The book is clean, looks brand new, and even smells new--as it was described. No discernible marks or damage of any kind.             The Problems of Philosophy27 reviews Bertrand Russell Book Jungle, 2008 The hobo philosopher Bertrand has written on many different subjects and many of his books can often appeal to the general reader. This book is for those interested in philosophy and who enjoy esoteric arguments. It is for the person with an average philosophical interest and not necessarily the Ph.D. candidate. Bertrand tells us that if we wish to become philosophers we must be willing to tackle the absurd. ...             3,000 Solved Problems in Physics (Schaum's Solved Problems) (Schaum's Solved Problems Series)29 reviews Alvin Halpern McGraw-Hill, 1988 Terrific Set of Physics Problems I give almost all Schaum's Outlines and Solved Problems Series a perfect 5 stars. They are indispensable in learning how to solve math, science, and engineering problems. This particular Schaum's has 3000 solved elementary physics problems (no subject outlines), with numerous beautiful illustrations. I skimmed the first 32 chapters and then read the remaining 7 chapters carefully; there are ...             Rapid Problem Solving with Post-It Notes19 reviews David Straker Da Capo Press, 1997 A quick way to organise your ever flowing thoughts.

The first one talks ...             How to Solve Word Problems in Algebra, (Proven Techniques from an Expert)25 reviews Mildred Johnson, Tim Johnson, ... McGraw-Hill, 2000 The best book for learning algebra word problems I baught this book for my son and he is a 7th Grader. My son could have easily read and learned the book by himself but to support him I read and learned solving problems with him. I wish this kind of book was available when I was in Jr.High/High school. Word problems have been simplified and categorized in such a way that you will not forget the solution approach for the rest of your life. ...             The Thinker's Toolkit: 14 Powerful Techniques for Problem Solving30 reviews Morgan D.

Ehrman HarperOne, 2009 If you like a good discussion about deep philosophical matters and interesting points of view, this one is for you! I am just getting to know this author, who apparently has quite a few well-written and well thought out books on the subject I am interested in. This one is no exception (I am currently also reading his "Jesus Interrupted".) I am not a religious person at all, but I always like to hear or read good philosophical thoughts (I am also reading the "antithesis" of this book - "There is a God" by an ...              search for books algebra, approach, boundary, contentious, differential, down-to-earth, elementary, equations, expanded, genocide, happiness, high-velocity, important, low-stress, lust-saturated, olympiad, painters, philosophy, physics, powerful, problems, question, recognizing, remarkable, saturated, serious, techniques, twitters, velocity, writing books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
